I can report that Michael Lentz’s Schattenfroh gets REALLY good at about the 149p mark. I still have lots to traverse, but this book and translation is superb. @deepvellum.bsky.social

Latest book pickup: The Death of Virgil by Hermann Broch. There’s just something about Austrian writers and their work that I enjoy so much.

I’ve been supplementing my #translatedfiction reads lately with some amazing poetry. Such as Olav H. Hague’s late works, and Alice Notley’s epic, The Decent Of Alette (1992). 🚇☠️

Not sure why I waited so long to finish Karl Ove Knausgaard’s #MyStruggle. I blew through books 1-5, but am only just now getting to the final installment and it’s amazing. Some of the best #writing I’ve read - like this piece on pg. 404 about his deceased father. 🤯 #BookSky #NorwegianLiterature
